Social Ministry

MISSION: To provide opportunities for the congregation to engage in ministry to those in need.

HOW IS THIS DONE?
 Our main campaigns are the Mission Canisters (all year), Lutheran Charities (April/May), the Crop Walk (October),
the Angel Tree (November/December).
 Missionary – The Social Ministry committee was also instrumental in promoting the sponsorship of a Missionary Couple in Africa. St. John’s has been part of this ELCA program since 2005. The Hartwig’s are dedicated to helping the AIDS community in Tanzania; Dr. Kristopher as a physician, Rebecca as a teacher of music. We were fortunate to have shared an evening with them when they returned to the States in 2006. At that time St. John’s supported a musical instrument drive to help with the music program they were starting. We receive periodic letters of their ministries that are printed in the “Crossbeam”.

 
MEETINGS: Quarterly, on a Monday night at 7 pm. Please contact Mike Setlock for dates.
